Background: A Free Lawn Mowing Service for Senior Citizens by founder Brian Schwartz.
Laid off from an NYC Ad Agency at the peak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Schwartz was mowing his lawn soon after to clear his mind and had an epiphany. Thinking about his late grandfather, his father battling brain cancer and a newborn son on the way he wanted to do something good in the world. On a whim, a social distance service was born offering to help his elderly neighbors with their lawn care free of charge and not even accepting tips in an effort to provide not just physical but mental relief. He realized many vulnerable seniors living on fixed incomes can’t afford annual lawn maintenance.
With local, national and international news coverage more volunteers across 6 states signed up to help.
Over 100 client lawns have been serviced through our network of volunteers and landscape partners.

Mission Statement: Put some good out in the universe one lawn at a time by helping our seniors, veterans, disabled neighbors and those in underprivileged communities.

Looking for help with fundraising for our cause in an effort to scale our non-profit nationwide!

Ekal Canada is a registered Canadian charity engaged in the basic education of tribal, indigenous children in rural India and Nepal. Ekal runs 80,000 schools that help educate over 2 million underprivileged children in rural, remote parts of India. It is the largest grassroots movement for rural education in the world.

Volunteer with any of the Ekal Canada regional chapters or Head Office and work on raising awareness, fundraising, social media, local community events, website maintenance, support groups, news and events, youth engagement, donor outreach, corporate outreach etc. A contribution of CAD $700 helps run one Ekal school for an entire year, educates 30 children and has a positive impact on 30 rural families.

The Ekal movement aims to eradicate illiteracy from tribal areas of India and Nepal through rural development based on the criteria of equality, diversity and inclusion across all sections of society. Ekal's mission is the holistic empowerment of villages through basic education, culture, digital literacy, skill development, health awareness, sustainable agricultural practices and rural entrepreneurship.

At the time of independence, India’s literacy rate was a staggering 11%. Since then, it has made tremendous strides in educating its people. Present day, the literacy rate stands at 68% for the indigenous and rural Indian population - well below the world average literacy rate of 84%. The tribal inhabitants live in remote areas, far from major cities. Those areas are highly deprived of basic amenities, modern facilities for youth and even basic infrastructure. In this scenario, the Ekal movement emerged as the most pragmatic solution to this national need.

Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation of Canada, a not-for-profit organization, was registered as an Ontario Corporation in 2006 and attained Canadian charitable status in 2007. Charity Registration Number (Canada): 853421162RR0001. Ekal is now active in over 10 countries including the United States of America, Germany, Italy, Thailand, UAE, New Zealand, Britain and Australia. Ekal is a one teacher school project primarily in the remote tribal villages where often there are not even the basic necessities of life such as roads, hospitals, schools, clean water etc. A school consists of 25 to 40 children and there are no formal school buildings. Classes are held under a tree, in a verandah, or wherever else is available. A blackboard, teacher and students form the class room. Ekal has regional chapters located in Toronto (GTA), Winnipeg, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Kingston, Sarnia, London Ontario, Windsor, Ottawa etc.

Covid-19 has knocked us all off the tightwire and even the world-famous Cape Town Cycle Tour is having to reinvent their original format and go virtual. The good news is that you can now cycle for Zip Zap from anywhere in the world, and you have a whole month to cover the gruelling 109 km’s.

Join our Cycle Tour Warriors and keep our doors open

With the Cape Town Cycle Tour going virtual this year, we have decided to jump right back onto our bicycles and mobilise our Cycle Warriors around the world, to generate some much-needed funds.
Join the 109-for-109 Charity Challenge – raise R109 per kilometre you ride for Zip Zap on your BackaBuddy / GivenGain page. If you would like to receive a virtual medal upon completion of the race, you will need to register on the Cape Town Cycle Tour website, click here Entry is ZAR109.

Raise and ride for a great cause
Every cent counts for us! So, please jump on board our Zip Zap Cycle Warriors global-cycle and help us reach our target of R 100,000. The event has changed to suit the virtual challenge, and now you have between 1 – 31 March 2021 to complete your 109km from anywhere in the world – that’s only 3.63km per day, for those that still need to dust off their tyres and oil their brakes!

Your sweat equity will be rewarded
As a Zip Zap Cycle Warrior, not only will you be investing into empowering kids for life, but we would love to reward you for every milestone you reach.

Cycle 54,5kms and receive a cool Zip Zap buff.

Cycle the full 109kms and receive a Zip Zap buff and exclusive access to view our Canal+ Family documentary Dare2Dream. You can kick back, put your weary feet up and enjoy front row seats, in the comfort of your own home, to view over a period of 48 hours! A great way to recover from 109km’s of balancing on 2 wheels in all weather conditions.

Where your money will go
Zip Zap Circus has been hard-hit by Covid19 with all live shows cancelled and our training programmes suspended. Our live shows account for 50% of our income to cover programme expenses and to ‘keep the show on the road.’ You will be contributing to keeping our doors open to 2000 talented children who cannot wait to join their circus family again and keep fit, healthy and happy.

Can we count on you?
